Premiere Contest WinnerUnder the Sun and Moon

I come to you,
            in the hot blazing sun;
  in this quiet place somber and subdue,
  flaming sun is burning my hair gold spun.
                       Your flowers dry,
  that yesterday I placed with a sad sigh.
      The sun is scalding me,
                close by the shade of a tree;
            and weeping angel statue . . . 
  What is written can never be undone,
  but still my love, I have asked God why?
            Crying I fall to my knee.

                        And in my dream,
            an apricot moon called,
  shining brightly down on me a gold beam; 
  and from my cozy bed I slowly crawled.
                       To drift and float,
  to that quiet place somber and remote;
       oh, I see your name,
                      under the moon aflame.
             Really I should scream,
  but I don't for entwined we are sprawled;
  and together my love and I, are afloat.
           His whisper, so happy you came.
